Good night at Ganapati, good food and company. My thoughts are that Ganapati is somewhat expensive for what it provides. It identifies its food as being south Indian street food, but at ?36 a head, that is very expensive street food.


Granted the menu is not the usual curry house menu, but the ingredients are the same, the decor is south Indian cafe stylee so attractive but basic and the rent in that part of Peckham is unlikely to be hugely inflated. So why the high prices? I guess because they can and it is a way of differentiating themselves from the competition. They are usually busy, although there were a number of empty tables yesterday.


I wonder whether some competition, another Indian restaurant opening in Bellenden would bring prices down, as people would have an alternative in that part of town?


Anyway, February - Lets go Swadesh as we did Mirash in December. Wednesday 29 February.

    • Thank you, he's pretty adamant a party wall agreement isn't needed so no chance of getting plans, he's been very cagey about what's being done. I've asked for the specific clause in the Party Wall Act that suggests he doesn't because I'm pretty worried. Is it just the chimney breasts that would fall under the act? He's insisting the others don't count as party walls.
    • Thanks  for the reminder nellie. Have today received two letters dated February 2024. Heading down to Highshore Road tomorrow to see if there's anything for us. I'm getting obsessive about missing/late arriving bills since having our phone and broadband cut off when we hadn't received (so hadn't paid) a bill from BT that had been posted to us. I now keep a note in my diary of when the various utility bills are expected, and phoning them when I think something is due, invariably they say the bill has been sent out. It shouldn't be so hard.
    • He’ll need to apply to building control if he’s removing a chimney breast, as that has to be signed off once the work is done. Make sure the joists for your floor are extended to full width of the room once the chimney breast is removed. Ours weren’t (by the previous owner when they removed the chimney breast in the kitchen) and the floor above was dipping by a few inches. 
    • Chimney breast removal definitely requires party wall agreement and if yours above is not being removed it will require steels to support the chimney breast above.  You should consult your own party wall surveyor and serve notices on your neighbour and they will be liable for the cost of your surveyor.  Also worth contacting the southwark building regs inspector for advice as removing a load bearing wall also requires steels to support the walls above and will require building regs. Has your neighbour shown you the plans to show how they are going to support your walls above?
